    I actually like this...

    Yet another duck shot from me. I was concentrating on getting "wing action" and so on from the ducks yesterday, and captured this one. I thought it was funny, like the duck was pretending to be a spook, or something, going "Woooo Hoooo".
    I also actually like it for the detail in the wings...feathers look great when they're spread like that, i think. What do you guys think?

    Wanting wing action, why not slow the shutter speed down a little bit to better show the motion?

    I have quite a few like that, too. I just like the detail here as well.

    Really a nice picture. I like the wings as well. I see some sort of caption under it starting with "In the unlikely event of a water landing..."

    Nice photo! I think if the tip of the wing was in focus as well it would benefit the photo, but then again it wouldnt feel like the duck is moving.

    I thought he looked like he was pretending to be a ghost, or something.

    Thanks. Yes, the idea on this day was to capture movement, so wings blurred was part of what I was going for, but that said, water was also part of what I was going for, so frozen in space water drops too. Think this managed to get both to some extent.

    Cheers
